I considered the Volvo S40 and the Nissan Maxima before I brought my 9-3SE. The first one I eliminated was the Volvo after test driving it and did some research on the Volvo board. The Volvo is just too slow for my taste and handling is not much to write home either. As for relability, the S40 doesn't seems to fare too well from what I read on the Volvo board. The Nissan Maxima is a solid car and attractive with the new 6-speed manual transmission. The problem is real spotty dealer service (check out maxima.org) plus there are just too many of them running around my area.
What you get from a 9-3 is unique style, good warranty, decent reliability, excellent engine/automatic tranny combo and decent dealership service - compare to Volvo and Nissan. Oh, the bonus hatchback is wonderful when you need to haul stuff, just ask my GF who dragged me out for X'mas shopping this past weekend :-))
Good hunting !
